About Islamic jihadis linking Islam with terrorism, Dr. Ansari was silent.
“Western countries linking Islam with terrorism not true: Ansari,” Daily Excelsior, November 7, 2015:
NEW DELHI, Nov 6: Refuting the view by Western world that Asian countries are using Islam for encouraging terrorism, Vice-President M Hamid Ansari has said there is no place for intolerance in Islam.
Addressing reports on board the special aircraft, on his return from Bali to New Delhi, Dr Ansari said 70 per cent of Muslims in the world reside in Asian countries and hence the notion that West Asian countries are determining the agenda for terrorism for Islam is wrong.
Dr Ansari said during his meeting with Muslim community in Indonesia on his visit, they expressed concern over the fact that terrorism is linked to religion like Islam.
He told them that it was primarily the opinion of the Western world that the agenda for Islam is being determined in West Asia.
Dr Ansari told the Muslim community in Indonesia that a sizeable section of the Muslim population of the world lives in countries like Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and China which are not a part of West Asia. (UNI)

This gentleman is using taquiyya and deception to confuse people who are not familiar with the tenets of the Quran. I am sure he will succeed in brainwashing some people, but not those who read JihadWatch.org. God bless the truth and the writers of JihadWatch.org, as well as the commenters here.

‘Some’ meaning Westerners. However, Hindus have a 1200-year history of Islamic persecution and conquest and will not be influenced by his lies.
Hamid Ansari and other apologists for the Death Cult are only concerned about the ‘IMAGE’ of Islam, rather than the DOCTRINE of Islam which creates backwardness, misogyny and intolerance.
Islam actually does have a ‘tolerant cycle’, but it is the benign stage that precedes and prepares for violent jihad. The ‘benign’ cycle of Islam is similar to the quiescent stage of the a herpes infection. The infection is always present and stress will bring it out.
There is nothing good in Islam for the kafir.

Unfortunately, there are many Hindus today who have forgotten their history of being brutalized by Muslims–just as many in the West have forgotten.
Westman says
Perhaps leaders think we have a situation more like a revival, one of those rowdy affairs in a circus tent, that will dissipate away when the show leaves town. This is more likely to be a revival of Fundamental Islam that will not die down and will tear the heart out of India and retard its amazing progress.
” ..the notion that West Asian countries are determining the agenda for terrorism for Islam is wrong.” That may be true – Islam ideology itself is the source of terrorism. Some countries are simply speading the disease.
Intolerance is a defining aspect of Islam. When all the populace is a bee, everything appears normal until a fly shows up or the hive moves.
Angemon says
That’s not correct. The agenda for islam is being determined by islamic texts. Whether or not specific countries that happen to be located in West Asia contribute to spread those teachings is irrelevant for that specific point.

And anyone who believes what he says, well, I have a bridge I can sell them really cheap.
RCCA says
Is the Middle East now being called West Asia? It is interesting that 70% of Muslims live in Asia. But the record of terrorism in Pakistan and Afghanistan rivals that of the Middle East. So his point is mute.
Truth Seeker says
Many persons opine, Terrorism is grown by US Aid. How? US gives, Financial and other Aids to Muslim Nations and these are Syphoned out by the Islamic Trojan Horses in the Administration for the Terror Jihadis.
Charli Main says
M(ohammed) ? Hamid Ansari. Now there is a good Hindu name!!!! (Sarc). This Muslim is practicing the long Islamic tradition of Taqqiya and Kitman to whitewash the filth of Islam.

No. Hence the notion that West Asian countries are determining the agenda for terrorism for Islam is RIGHT.

The Internet does not exist. Books do not exist. Nor do telephone networks or eve camel convoys. This is the analysis we are served. Mideast, South Asia, West Asia, Merced County California, what’s the difference. It’s all Holy Ko-Ran to me.
Oh, and who did what why at that nightclub filled with Aussies and Americans in Bali, does that count? This guy needs to get off his special airplane and shave his face.

I guess it must also be wrong to link eggs flour and milk with pancakes.
Meanwhile, on planet Earth, it’s wrong to link Muhammadan supremacists
with honesty.

If Modi doesn’t call out this liar for the dumbass he is that’ll be another major defeat along a long path of them. His tact as provincial leader upon the Gujarat religious (read: Jihad mass murder) riots in Gujarat was refreshing, even encouraging. Is Modi now yet another sellout in the panoply of world leader sellouts? I know that many H-1B Hindus working in this country read this blog, are you pussies too?
As Israel goes so goes the rest of us. The same is true for India.
KnowThyEnemy says
I don’t think Modi even knows that Hamid is lying. People have had a wrong impression of Modi. He does not know Islam! I have never heard him say anything that indicates that he thinks there is a problem in Islam. The media railed against him and accused him of attacking Muslims, so everyone got deluded into thinking that Modi is anti-Islam and anti-Muslim.
Even if it is true that he let Hindus riot against Muslims in 2002, it was not because he knows Islam-followers to be dangerous. When Hindus attack Muslims, it is more like *a gang* rioting against Muslims. I call them a “gang” because gangmembers know only of the label that they identify with (the name of the gang) and have no ideology. Most Hindus simply do not know the details of any ideology, either theirs or Islam’s, which effectively reduces them to nothing more than gangmembers. Modi simply sided with his gang (assuming he is involved, which I doubt).
Now I don’t know for sure how much Modi knows his own [religious] ideology but he definitely does not know Islam’s. He thinks everyone will get behind his “development” bandwagon and all problems will be solved. He has no clue that Muslims do not care about development, they care about Islam.
Hindus, the Islamo-realist ones, would be waiting forever if they think Modi is going to keep Islam in check. I am willing to bet that Modi does not even know that Islam (and its followers) need to be kept in check.
Matthieu Baudin says
Thoughtful comments. If Modi is as clueless about Islam as you suggest then this is a problem, however a growing proportion of Indians probably are becoming more conscious of the disastrous effect of Islamic rule on Indian Culture and the lives of tens of millions over the centuries and are unlikely to put up with too much wishy washy apologetics for Islamic Supremacism in the present.
Wellington says
It seems virtually daily that someone in authority somewhere, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, feels compelled to deny that Islam should be linked with terrorism. This in and of itself is telling (and damning) in the extreme. And with each passing year a greater percentage of those in the West and everywhere else are registering this apologia, this putrid exculpation, in their psyche. Good.
Jay Boo says
However, in fairness there is one compelling reason not to link Islam fully with terrorism.
While terrorism is very despicable, we should not insult terrorism because it does not even begin to sink to the full depravity that is inherent in Islam.
Islam is giving every-day terrorism a bad name.
Wellington says
I can appreciate, Jay Boo, when someone does me one better, as you did. Hope you are doing well in this very goofy world.

And just who does the Indian VP think was responsible for the Mumbai Hotels massacre a couple of years back?

India’s VP: Western countries wrong to link Islam with terrorism
……………………..
More sickening Taqiyya.
Ansari has called for an “invigoration” of Islam in India, and we all know what *that* would entail.
Keith says
Always the same Islam is the most tolerant and peaceful of all religions and yet not one of these “scholars” of Islam seem to be able to point to more than a single verse that they claim shows how peaceful and tolerant Islam is.
Surely if Islam was as tolerant and peaceful as they keep claiming they should be able to quote who chapters out of the koran that show this. It would be so easy for them but they seem unable to counter the hate filled message coming from IS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram and every other Islamic terrorist organisation.
Just once I would love to hear one of these people start quoting from the koran, sira and hadith to show what they are saying. Instead there is the sound of crickets chirping
Keith says
Sorry small mistake – they should be able to quote WHOLE chapters
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
In the same vein, apologists should be required to account for what the naive Sean Hannity calls “offending phrases” which are actually defining commands, words along the path of a long pattern in the Holy Ko-Ran that comprise it as a world takeover murder manual, nothing more or less. But we get segments on TV dozens of times every day, with never a mention of these commands. And, before any doubters speak up, I refer you to Spencer’s essay from a couple of weeks ago that explicitly dealt with offending phrases in the Old Testament. He quoted them for all to see.
A person watching TV is not to be criticized for believing that there is equivalency. If the Holy Ko-Ran, i.e., if Islam, is itself at its core a severe problem, a grave and immediate danger, then certainly the Krauthammers, Wills and Haywards would bring it up on Special Report, right?

Why can’t Hindu majority India appoint a non-Muslim VP to promote her agenda instead of appointing an Islamic apologist …who is out to promote an Islamic agenda?

In India they call them religious riots. They are better defined as mass murder riots. Like during the Gujurat. This geek is held up a sop to try to minimize the mass murder riots, rituals of the you-know-what religion.
KnowThyEnemy says
It is because the Left does its PC/MC propaganda in India too and has been quite successful at it. Just as it happens in the west, no one tells the truth about Islam in India and no one challenges the apologists when they spew nonsense and taqiyya.
The educated non-Muslims in particular are thoroughly brainwashed with such propaganda. They have no clue that their VP is promoting an Islamic agenda. Chances are they actually like their VP making pro-Islam statements since to them it supports secularism.
Sam says
islam will remain “religion of peace” regardless of being the most evil and at the same time the stupidist cult ever fabricated.
Matthieu Baudin says
If Dr. Ansari is able to leave the vitriol of Islam at the mosque on Fridays, and attended to matters of state unprejudiced for the remainder of the week, then he’s setting a fine example that ought to be emulated by the 200 million other Indian Muslims and one day also by the 400 million inhabitants of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The 15% number is a fake. A friend of mine who grew up in Delhi said that census takers are fearful of even approaching the door of a Moslem household there, and that the census taker is usually chased off amid shouts and threats. When a Moslem threatens you, you move along. Especially in India, where the 60 – 90 million men women elderly and children mass murdered during the Moghul still resonates.
Oppressaphobe says
What is it with these leaders around the world all the sudden feel they need to set America straight in its thinking?
(Maybe since they elected Obama they are nervous)
But what is up with the Pope and now this Indian leader telling us what to do?
Especially when its in their own interest! Americans need to tell these people to shut the **** up!!!
